I found a slide deck today on Slideshare and it inspired me to think. Thought-provoking messages on people’s perception of branding (slide 30), who should we care about in our branding (slide 47), and the true task at hand in branding (slide 92). “How to (not) Fail” from Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam. It changed mine!

As a normal, hard working, socially concerned citizens, there is discontent that leaders are not listening to the communities they represent. The communities voice is being limited to the lobbying of a few influential people surrounding our leaders. This problem is epidemic at the local, state, national, and global levels.

It has been a week of finding great WordPress Plugins. Today I found a plugin to help me distribute the posting on my WordPress blog to all my social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Facebook Pages, and LinkedIn. WordPress 2 Ping.fm is the plugin of choice.

Ping.fm has become a favorite tool for social media junkies because it allows you to write a post in one location and distribute it to your network of social media accounts.

The problem was how to get my blog posts to all my social media accounts. The answer, install WordPress 2 Ping.fm plugin to distribute my blog post to Ping.fm. Then Ping.fm distributes the post to the social media network. Bingo!

It was very easy. The steps are:

Create an account on Ping.fm.

Add your social media sites by selecting on the “Add To Network”.

When at the Dashboard, select Application Keys and copy the long string.
